    The present study analyzes the psychometric properties of the Scale for Existential Thinking (SET) in a sample of Portuguese university students with the Rasch model. The results indicate that the items are well fitted to a latent unidimensional structure, as required by Rasch modeling. The response scale showed proper functioning; therefore, people and item parameters were estimated with high precision. DIF analyses confirmed no differences in the results concerning gender. Correlational analyses with additional measures support construct and criterion-related validity. Limitations of this study and the psychometric implications of its results are discussed, providing suggestions for future research.

    O presente estudo exploratório analisa as propriedades psicométricas da Scale for Existential Thinking (SET) numa amostra de universitários portugueses, usando a modelação Rasch. Os resultados indicam que os itens ajustama umaestrutura latenteunidimensional,pressuposto da modelação Rasch. A escala de resposta apresentou funcionamento adequado, permitindo que os parâmetros de pessoas e itens fossem estimados com elevada precisão. Análises DIF confirmaram a inexistência de diferenças nos resultados relativas ao género. Análises de correlação com medidas adicionais oferecem evidências de validade de construto e de critério. Discutem-se as limitações do estudo e as implicações psicométricas dos resultados para futuras investigações.
